Tim Hortons' Smile Cookie Campaign Returns for 2025
Today marks the beginning of Tim Hortons’ much-loved Smile Cookie campaign, running from April 28th to May 4th. This week-long initiative aims to assist local charities and community groups across the U.S. by donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of every delicious Smile Cookie sold.
The Smile Cookie, a delightful Chocolate Chunk Cookie hand-decorated with a cheerful smiley face, is a favorite among Tim Hortons customers. This year, each cookie sold costs $2 (excluding tax), and all proceeds will be directed towards over 25 local charities chosen by individual Tim Hortons restaurant owners. These selected organizations often include children's hospitals and community groups focusing on youth development, ensuring that each purchase supports meaningful causes within the community.
Last year's campaign saw overwhelming support, with guests raising over $347,000 through Smile Cookie sales alone, further establishing this program as an essential element of community charity work. Since its inception in 1996, the Smile Cookie campaign has raised an impressive total of more than $90 million across both the U.S. and Canada.
Why Smile Cookies?
The concept of the Smile Cookie campaign goes beyond merely selling a cookie. It represents a unique opportunity for customers to contribute positively to their communities while enjoying a delicious treat. With each cookie purchased, customers are not just indulging in a sweet snack but actively participating in a charitable cause.
Supported Organizations
During the campaign, local Tim Hortons restaurant owners select charities that reflect the values and priorities of their community. Examples of supported organizations include:
- - Children’s hospitals: Focusing on health and wellness for young patients.
- - Youth development organizations: Providing support and resources for young people in need.
- - Local community groups: Addressing various social issues and needs within the community.
